摘要

无人机已经被率先用于军事，然而，直到最近才引入非军事无人机。2019冠状病毒病大流行使无人机在运输医疗用品方面的潜在价值受到关注。随着保持社会距离政策和检疫规定的实施，传统物流系统的效率受到限制。几家公司最近加快了在这一领域的发展，逐步开展试点项目，为医疗物流供应链的未来铺平了道路。在这篇综述中，我们研究了医院内外的叙事和灰色文献，以描述无人机技术在世界各地医疗保健领域的现状，以及无人机如何使患者、临床医生和广大公众受益的一些最先进的例子。我们调查了大规模采用无人机的经济可行性和障碍，包括监管障碍、公众对无人机技术的看法和安全性，并提出了如何克服这些挑战的建议。进一步的工作应着眼于量化这种服务如何影响患者的健康结果和临床效率的影响和结果。这篇综述的目的是为国民健康服务和世界上更广泛的其他医疗保健系统提供工具，以接受和实施这项新的和即将到来的技术。

Transforming healthcare logistics and evaluating current use cases of UAVs (drones) as a method of transportation in healthcare to generate recommendations for the NHS to use drone technology at scale: a narrative review

Drones have been pioneered and used in the military, however, only recently non-military drones have been introduced. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought into focus the potential value of drones in moving medical supplies. With the onset of social distancing policies and quarantine regulations, the efficiency of traditional logistics systems has been limited. Several companies have recently accelerated their development in this domain, conducting pilot projects at pace, paving the way for the future of the medical logistics supply chain. In this review, we examine both narrative and grey literature for in and out of hospital settings, in order to describe the current state of drone technology in healthcare around the world and some of the most cutting-edge examples of how drones can benefits patients, clinicians and the wider public. We investigate the economic viability and barriers to adopting drones at scale which include regulatory hurdles, public perception and safety of drone technologies, and propose how to overcome these challenges. Further work should look at quantifying the impact and outcomes of how such a service could impact the health outcomes of patients and clinical efficiency. This review aims to equip the National Health Service and more broadly other healthcare systems around the world with the tools to embrace and implement this novel and upcoming technology.

期刊介绍： Healthcare is undergoing a revolution and novel medical technologies are being developed to treat patients in better and faster ways. Mobile revolution has put a handheld computer in pockets of billions and we are ushering in an era of mHealth. In developed and developing world alike healthcare costs are a concern and frugal innovations are being promoted for bringing down the costs of healthcare. BMJ Innovations aims to promote innovative research which creates new, cost-effective medical devices, technologies, processes and systems that improve patient care, with particular focus on the needs of patients, physicians, and the health care industry as a whole and act as a platform to catalyse and seed more innovations. Submissions to BMJ Innovations will be considered from all clinical areas of medicine along with business and process innovations that make healthcare accessible and affordable. Submissions from groups of investigators engaged in international collaborations are especially encouraged. The broad areas of innovations that this journal aims to chronicle include but are not limited to: Medical devices, mHealth and wearable health technologies, Assistive technologies, Diagnostics, Health IT, systems and process innovation.
